    more Gold Darnit! WHAT TO BUY?

    So i went to southwestern WI where my brother bought a house with a GIANT park across the street. I searched for probably 6 hours total... I was hoping for an old coin and gosh darn it, all this gold was in the ground instead! No old old coins today! thumbsup01 I sold the chain at a pawn shop today for $510, and im keeping the rings. Im putting the 510 towards possibly an ATPRO, or any other suggestions in that price range?

    Wow... that is a bunch of nice digging right there. Especially the &quotarnit gold.

    You made an incredible return on your investment (Ace 250) with the bracelet on one dig. <:

    Congrats on an exciting 6 hours of hunting. Love the 10k and 14k rings too.

    very nice finds on all the gold,and if you are looking for a new detector in that price
    range check out the whites M6 I've been useing one for over 3 years and I feel it is one of the best turn on and go detectors on the market.

    Really sorry no old coins crept under your coil, but, if you sell the rings you can buy some old coins. What a great gold haul. I have seen some great finds on this forum made by the ATPro. Good luck in your hunt for a new detector.

    You have found a rich people park with minimal pressure from crazy metal detector hobbyists. You should grow a beard, live in that park, and act completely crazy until you have scoured every inch. You could also hire me to do this for you.

    Hit me with an offer.
